Right about what I’m feeling right now. Again, like I’ve done many times before, today I decided to skip lunch. I figured I would work through my lunch – you know, suppress my hunger by drinking lots of water and chewing gum (a model’s diet if you will) – and take off a little early at the end of my day. Well by 6 o’clock when I was finally leaving con mis tripas en friega todas gruñendo you could say I had changed my mind about my brilliant idea earlier.

I got home, ate one turkey sandwich with Velveeta cheese, Mayonnaise and Valentina sauce. Then another. Next, the spirits in the fridge were calling my name and I decided to have a couple of them. By the end of the night I sat down to have dinner. Beef and white rice, again, with a lot of Valentina sauce on top. Then this happened:

It made me remember that I had been meaning to write about the word entripado. What a wonderful opportunity to capitalize on my discomfort! After all, they do say a picture is worth 1,000 words. A ver si es cierto.

For those wanting more of an explanation, how about these synonyms for a definition: empacho, discomfort, irritation or frustration.

Now help me out. What are some good remedios for lo entripado? I mean besides Topo Chico, Picot or Alka-Seltzer.

Gracias!
